    It was sold to CounterPoint Capital Partners of Los Angeles in 2017. I'm sure they didn't have a clue that GM would close Lordstown.

    I was being sarcastic, it is a shame they had all or enough of their eggs in one basket that loosing a customer puts them down for the count.

    It was a swipe at another post about the Lakewood crash last week. You know I think your truck is the cat’s pajamas.

    If he had a decent radio, he wouldn't need to fly around.

    Not sure how I'd feel hiring one of those guys right after this. I mean I think a little head clearing, cool down period would be in order. That's just me. I've had several people call literally yelling at me they can do the job, they need a chance, there current or old job sucks. It frightens the cats when they do that.

    100 year old company bought by money grubbing ######. Money grubbing ###### with MBA's etc., but probably not a lot of real practical knowledge of the business. So, path of least resistance is taken. Now they will go gobble up something else, and vampire the life out of it.
